Rose o' My Heart (1914)
Accused by George Armstrong, fellow bank clerk John Marston is unjustly condemned to a long imprisonment and forced to leave his young wife and their baby girl, whom he calls Rose o' My Heart. After the prison doors close upon him, Fate favors Armstrong, who is advanced to the presidency of the bank. Finally released, Marston comes back a gray and broken man, to seek out his wife and child. The latter has developed into a beautiful young woman, who has the love and admiration of locksmith Horace Manly, but she feels she cannot give herself to him in marriage while the stain rests upon her father's name. When the latter returns from prison, Manly generously prevails upon him to become his partner, he himself being skilled in lock and safe-making. One day the First National Bank experiences some difficulty with its huge safe, and Marston is sent to rectify matters. He is asked into Armstrong's private office, and finds him standing alone before the open door of the big vault. Human nature is human, and he begins to scourge the guilty man in spite of himself. Armstrong, fearing violence, runs into the safe, closes the door, which locks, leaving the astonished Marston outside. He immediately gives the alarm, but the stupid policeman at first believes that Marston was trying to rob the safe. When he explains the situation, his partner, Manly, is also sent for. Both lend their efforts, and through their combined skill Armstrong is liberated, but in an unconscious condition. This brings on an affection of the heart from which he succumbs, but not before he confesses that he was guilty of the crime for which Marston had suffered. The rest of Marston's life is made happy and his beloved child, Rose o' My Heart, blooms as the wife of his honest partner Manly.
